Finalist for Canada's Aurora Award
Sequel to the multi-award-winning The Hollow Boys
The Dream Rider Saga, Book 2
"Give me the Crystal Key!"
Will Dreycott is the Dream Rider, the agoraphobic teenage superhero who can walk in our dreams but never in the streets of his city. Case is his girlfriend, a survivor of those streets who hears voices that warn her of danger. Fader is her brother, who is very good at disappearing. Together, they defeated a body swapper and a witch to save the world (The Hollow Boys).
Now, Case battles guilt over living sheltered in Will's tower home while her street friends still struggle. Blaming his affliction for Case's sadness, Will searches for a way to live a normal life with the girl he lovesa way to go outside.
But his efforts draw the attention of dark forces. Sinister figures hunt Will in Dream. Intruders scour the vast warehouse of antiquities "acquired" by Will's missing parents. And a masked swordswoman attacks Will, demanding "the Crystal Key" before disappearing into thin air.
Are they all searching for the same thing? Something from Will's parents' shady past? For the swordswoman leaves behind a flowery scent, Will's only memory from the lost expedition eight years ago that gave him powers in Dream but cost him his parents and his freedom.
A trail of dark secrets leads Will, Case, and Fader to a mysterious world. Trapped between warring cults willing to kill for the Crystal Key, the three friends must master strange new powers that grow stronger and wilder the closer they draw to the truth.
This time it's not just the fate of the world at stake...but the multiverse.
Indiana Jones meets Teen Titans in The Dream Rider Saga, a fast-paced urban fantasy trilogy from "one of Canada's most original writers of speculative fiction" (Library Journal).
Praise for The Crystal Key:
"The richly inventive Dream Rider adventure continues in this second appealing entry...with an exciting plot... always enlivened by the Smith hallmarks of crack dialogue, fun sleuthing and puzzle-solving, a strong throughline of emotion, a swift pace...and a principled refusal to settle for the familiar. Takeaway: This thrilling superpowered urban fantasy series continues to grip." (New readers should start with book one.) BookLife (Editor's Pick)
"The engrossing second installment of Douglas Smith's Dream Rider Saga trilogy. ... Smith continues to demonstrate an ability to expertly weave multiple complex fantasy elements into a cohesive whole. ... This fast-paced story delivers in a big wayand Smith has all his ducks lined up for an explosive conclusion [to the series] that readers won't want to miss." Blueink Review (★ Starred review)
